Expression of bap Gene in Clinical Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates in Khorramabad, Iran

Background: Biofilm-associated protein (Bap) in Acinetobacter baumannii is an essential factor biofilm production and persistence the hospital environment. Objectives: This study aimed to detect bap gene A. by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from clinical specimens Khorramabad, Iran. Methods: cross-sectional was performed during April 2017 - 2018 on 43 strains samples collected identified microbiological biochemical tests. The expression of evaluated PCR. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 24. Results: Out strains, 23, 8, 3, 3 isolated chest sputum, wounds, urine, tissues, blood, and, respectively. According PCR results, all isolates had except one. Real-time showed significant differences between diverse samples. highest found sputum wound a difference other (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: We observed most high this Therefore, further studies are recommended find strategies inhibit formation, which help treat infections caused biofilm-forming strains.
